Hi everyone--
Wanted to get some opinions on this one:
I went back to school for nursing as a second degree (1st degree was in liberal arts). I had to go back and take some of the nursing school pre-req's for the BSN program-- A&P I and II, Chemistry, Biochemistry and developmental psych and I took those at our local community college. Mostly due to cost and our local community college is also a big "feeder" into the university where I went to nursing school so I knew all the classes would transfer. I got all A's in those classes. My BSN is from a large nationally recognized very good nursing school. I did take pharmacology and pathology at the university (for my BSN) and got A's in those classes as well.
Now that I'm thinking about maybe CRNA school in the future, how are those science classes taken at the community college going to look? I did get A's but I'm afraid graduate schools will not hold as much stock in those. I suppose I could re-take the classes at a university, but is there a point in retaking classes that I've already taken and gotten A's in?
Another way I've looked at it is that there has to be quite a few nurses that have gone the ADN to BSN to CRNA route and in that case all those students must have taken a bulk of their science classes at community colleges too, am I right?
I would appreciate your thoughts! Thank you!

Re: Classes at community college

I can't speak for the schools, but I think the most important thing is that you got A's in those classes. Community College or a 4 year University should not matter, also most nurses took classes at community colleges, so I wouldn't worry about it much. The good thing is the fact that you did well on your courses ( especially the sciences)
